Bob Boyd, Northern Ireland, who was a student at Benmore at this time added the following information:

'The photo taken in front of Benmore House seems to be a surveying exercise and the people from the left are ; myself wearing blue coat, instructor Roddy MacDonald wearing deerstalker hat, Bob Cuthbertson holding short ranging rod, Maurice Clements holding long ranging rod, over Maurice's left shoulder is Walter McCloskey, over Maurice's right shoulder is Andy Orr, on the right side of photo is Bill Mason and Ian Reid. Judging from foliage colour this photo was taken in Autumn 1958 or 1959.'
